Punches comin’ at me

I’m facin’ big man Ali

Not only strong, they’re fast

Faster than I can react

Real fast.

Don’t know how much longer I’ll last

Two black eyes, broken nose, frail ribcage

What’s around me is startin’ to fade

Hey, I’m still in the ring at least

Some people have left before they

Started bleedin’.  

Heck, my heart could be pulled out

For all I care

The only way the Big Man

Can make me give in is a knockout

Simple, eh?

I got my forearms barricading 

My face

I know that if I throw out my fist

Big Man’ll throw one back too hard

To resist.

But now everything’s fadin’ ‘round me

It’s too late to flee, 

Isn’t it?

Can that sense of being free,

Lifeless, empty, save me?

Save me from that dreaded knockout,

Big Man’s knockout.
